 Hello, everyone. It's Bernice, your community outreach specialist, and today I'm bringing you another special video. I say that every day, but I am going to be talking to two members for code enforcement. And sorry, in the background, I'm just in the parking lot today outside of my office. It's what I do guys, but we're gonna be talking about what code enforcement is. Yeah, I'm literally just diving to that because I actually really don't quite know. They write a lot of citations. That's what I have for you, but I'm gonna get you some proper information and not get hit. All right. So guys, we're gonna talk about code enforcement. So I have corp rolls, Oheda, Celeste with me, and they're gonna dive in and give us the nitty-gritty and apologize in advance for their sunglasses. It's bright outside guys. It is bright. But they're really, it's actually a really nice day, but it's cold. So there's that. Okay guys, say hey. It's like 70 outside. It's like 65. It's like 65 degrees. Okay, what's code enforcement? Let's just start there. So the sheriff's office has three corpals. It's me, Pedro, and Chris Crawford. Wait, I need you guys to come closer. Like I can't, there we go. He's not able to be with us today. Okay. So we deal with not so much complaints, but we deal with problem properties and problem drug houses and problem meaning messy just for like lack of, like so our people, okay, okay, okay. A lot of our nuisance and drug houses have many violations. So we'll go and if they want to be a nuisance in the community, we're gonna make sure that they have the cleanest properties in the community. Okay. Okay. That's cool. I know you guys write a lot of citations. What else do you do besides write citations? We assist in the human trafficking task force in the county. So we do the inspections at massage parlors, strip clubs, and some other types of businesses. So basically just to ensure that, okay. So just to make sure that there's, how do you say that? Yeah, sexually, what? Sexually oriented, oriented, there you go. Don't, wait, you guys know me, like me and my English on these videos. Guys, it's okay for, What, what was in your coffee this morning? My goodness. Okay. All right. So, so basically you monitor massage parlors to make sure there is no sex trafficking going on in the businesses. Yes. We do inspections. We interview people and we see if we can, sometimes we'll have a translator come with us. Okay. And we try to make sure that they're working for themselves. They're not being forced to work. Okay, I got you. Forced labor. Okay, okay. What else do you guys do? I know that there was a list of things that you guys do. So we also manage trust pass agreements in the county with vacant properties or developed properties. So for example, if Home Depot has a trust pass agreement with us and people are in the parking lot at three in the morning, up to no good, that gives us the authority to kick them off. Okay. Okay. Cool. Cool. Okay. So we manage that for the entire west side of the county. Okay. Just for the west side. Okay. And you said that there's three. Crawford does the east side. Okay. By himself. He doesn't have a partner either. We have more issues with that on the west side. Oh, okay. Okay. I got you. What else? I mean, how do you join code enforcement? Do you apply for it? Is it like a unit like that? Like you... It's a specialty unit. Okay. February will be three years that I've been working with this guy. Oh, that's an anniversary. This guy. How are you guys going to celebrate? Are you guys going to have like a work... All right. We got off work on time. We're going to just... No? Okay. Did you celebrate year two? We might go to like Chick-fil-A or something. No. No. We're at Gas Flurge. We're going to have some large fries and I don't even... There we go. The fancy stuff. Okay. Good lighting. Right? Nice lighting. Stop. It's great lighting. In front of a jail. It's the old jail. You guys... If you watched and paid attention to the videos, guys, you know that this is no longer the jail, but it's been repurposed as the admin building. I worked here once. Did you? Huh. Wait, I don't even remember how long this has been here. Like nine... I think it was 81. It was built. Okay. Very cool. Just another fun fact for you guys. Is there anything else that you guys want to add? So you're like 10 years old? Wow. Just... You can tell that they worked together for a long time. But there are some facts about code enforcement for you guys. If you didn't know, if you have any other questions about code enforcement, let me know. Put them in the description. I'll do my best to get an answer for you. But yeah, shout out to these guys because they see some stuff on the regular. Yeah, you guys... So the complaints are handled by county, but when they need help, then they call us. So most of the time, if there's a code enforcement complaint, you actually call the county, not the sheriff's office. Okay. And if it becomes a sheriff's office issue, then that's when we will get involved. Go into action. I'm sorry. We're going to one now, actually. Oh, yep. Okay. Because I'm holding them up. But, alright. Thanks for giving us a couple of minutes to talk to us about code enforcement. If you haven't liked the video, go ahead and do so. Comment below if you have anything.
